I know how you feel. I've been through the same with many dogs and cats over the years. It's amazing how quickly they become family or a great friend. Amazing how much love they give just by being themselves.

The very last photo I took of my dog Gabrielle!
I used to say, these 3 dogs are my children...and I rared them from puppies to their passing 16 and 17 years later.... I cannot describe the LOSS of not having 3 dogs greeting me when I get home. AND I also had a breakup with my EX after 18 years so... the house that was VERY noisy and full of activity is now very quite. I would not have gotten through it all without my new dog, Regina who is 4 years old now.... and is stuck to my side like glue, I take her everywhere, even work, -- a long haired female German shepherd. ( like Beare was ) She has been through the whole drama and even the passing of Gabrielle who taught her Good Doggie Manners when she was from a 6 week old pup to 1 year old. Regina defiantly has taken the Good temperament of Gabrielle into her own temperament and attitude with me. Of the 3 dogs I had, Gabrielle was the quite one, the good mannered one, the dog that hung back and let her sister Lucy do all the barking and begging for food. And Beare was a real handful demanding attention all the time ( she had been traumatized as a pup -- I picked her up off the road at 10 months in the countryside -- dumped with a bag of dog food. Regina... well she is something else. She sits and waits patiently for me to be done. If I attach a lead at work sometimes to keep her safe, she lies down on her bed and does not complain. I am so so grateful I had the other 3 to teach me how to be a good dogie mum and not I am more grateful to have rared Regina to have the best temperaments of all 3. I am sure they are all looking down and encouraging Regina to behave ha I STILL am not over them, I wish they were ALL her with me right now barking in their own ways and greeting me at the door and demanding my attention and food!!
I was lucky they all lived so long ... the vet said What did you do ?? I said, NO fast food and crap food. JUST their dog diet and keep up with their shots every year and oh yes LOTS And LOTS of TLC.
Thanks for your kind comments. Its so sad for us ANIMAL lovers!!
